If you can get into Download mode use THIS:

I have used it a good 100 times now and has never failed me if you cant get into download mode buy one from MobileTechVideos super handy and always worked for me.

Hope that helped.

I use the One Click. When I pull the battery and put it back in it does nothting. I have to push the power button and it goes into bootloop.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpicaso:
1. Pull the battery out and put back in. DO NOT TURN PHONE BACK ON..

2. open odin.

3. Hold Down the volume up and volume down buttons at the same time while plugging in the USB Cable.

4. once you are in download mode click start in odin.

Have you tried this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoophan:
When I hold the Volume buttons down then plug in the USB cable all I get if that little star looking logo then the gray battery that shows charging. That's it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dlev7:
Yes this has happened to me before build yourself a jig or buy one from Mobile Tech Videos and use the link I have above to get back to stock.

You must be a build 1010 or higher because we (im a build 1011) cannot use the 1-click. Do not worry you didnt brick your phone you'll just need a jig and after that your smooth sailing if you follow the instructions in that post
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpicaso:
Is the battery charged?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pizz0wn3d:
I had this exact problem. Don't worry though, the fact that your phone is in a bootloop is actually a really good sign, it means you're not permanently bricked.

The newer builds (1010 and up) can't use odin 1 click to get back to stock (can't remember the reason though). There's a post I'll look up for you that shows you how to use odin3 to get back to stock.

What you need to do is build yourself a jig (or buy a premade one) because our phones don't have the three key combo enabled (the volume up+ down & power key etc). I'm on my phone atm so I'll have to go find the link for the jig guide too.

Edit: the odin3 guide was already posted above, but here's the link again for the sake of redundancy:

I'm pretty sure the battery can be fully drained, the method you posted would put the device into download mode.

phoophan > Please write back the numbers that are on the white sticker behind the battery. There will be a number that looks similar to 10.07 meaning 2010, July. Or 10.08 for 2010, August. That is your build date.

I built a JIG today and it just turns the phone on into the same state. (AT&T white splash screen flashing every 2 seconds.)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoophan:
Read #3 from Varun12. He already mentioned this. You might want to take a cue from him and learn how to interact with people......
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekurrgan:
Broken

Ok lets assume you're correctly getting download mode, and the jig is built properly.

You said you where using Odin to flash a rom.. and now you get a repeating AT&T white screen.

First things first.. assuming DL mode is borked, you need to try other options..

Try going into plain recovery.

If you can get into recovery by using Vol Up + Vol Down + Tap power from a powered down state, there is some hope..

ADB usually communicates with the phone while in recovery, so you will be able to issue an adb reboot download command.

If you get the happy triangle search these forums for the correct SBL to enable download mode, cause the one you've got sucks and doesnt have it, assuming you're doing the key combo + jig built right.

If the kernel happens to have cwm built in thats on it at the moment, you should be set..

worst case mount up usb storage and copy cog 4 or something to the sd card and flash that..

However, if all fails, and its a fairly new phone, throw it in the microwave for 2 2 second bursts and send it to sammy.. They will in turn replace the entire unit, or at least the guts...

Trick works, I vouch for it out of experience.

good luck

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
you may want to take your own advice and not piss off the people here to help..

this guy has some good advice but, to make it easier, use Capivate AIO toolkit, stickied at the top of the DEV forum. it can push the download mode command using adb but all you do is click 2 buttons in windows. no commands to type, if you can get your phone into

recovery

using "3 button" method

***note some of the posts earlier are inaccurate**** to get into download mode you use

2 buttons NOT 3

to get into recovery you use 3.

i find to get into download mode you must hold the vol+&- for a second or 2 after you plug in the USB. that little pause makes all the difference for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
I fault the people who respond to these threads with anything but a link to Q&A.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoophan:
Help me understand 2 vs. 3 buttons. How do I do the two button?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wonner:
1. Start Odin

2. Remove the battery, SIM and SD (if you have one)

3. Hold Vol - and Power

4. Connect phone to the USB

5. Insert the battery

6. Release the Vol - and Power
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoophan:
You know what guy? I've tried everything you've asked me to do. The constant I notice is my phone is not recognized by my computer when I plug it in. It used to make a USB connection sound but now nothing. I just downloaded the Toolbox and nothing works. It has a button that is supposed to check if Debugging mode is On but again it doesn't recognize the phone.

What the hell is going on with my phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
it wont recoginze your phone in a bootloop.

you must get into download or recovery mode. (either one)

download (like i said before)

vol up and down, plug in, wait 2 seconds, release

recovery like the last guy said

have off, plugged in, vol dn and(then) power

if not. nuke it for a few seconds or stick it to the back of a speaker magnet for 10 minutes and return. next time be more careful.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] askpcguy:
Sigh. I respect you but must point out one thing. Readers of the Q&A section are not always the best equipped to help solve problems from flashing custom ROMS.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G-Man.:
I agree with MikeyMike01 - This thread belongs in General or Q&A - also a simple 'search' would have revealed that bootloops have been answered several times over.... People need to read the rules before posting. Just because you dont get an answer in the section your thread BELONGS in - does not mean you can just post it in development. READ the RULES guys.... MikeyMike01 is 100% correct on this.

Those of you so opposed to this thread should just report it to a mod instead of trying to play one. That's what their here for. As far as the search function goes at least for me it might work 50% of the time. The rest of the time it says search function is currently down please try again in 30 minutes.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoophan:
If you read the entire thread you would see I didn't even know what "bootloop" meant until halfway thru it. I then did search the forum as the poster requested. Keep in mind I've been working on this all weekend and am extremely frustrated. Now it's midnight and I still don't have a working phone.

So next time maybe you should take all into consideration before you make "big brother" comments like you did. Not everyone here is as knowledgeable as you are. I also don't live at this forum. I use it when I need it as I thought we were supposed. I realize it's people like you that make this forum as good as it is but give us little guys a break every once in awhile.

You can close this thread now since I believe I've exhausted every possible solution to get my phone out of bootloop. And BTW, for the person who said something about being careful next time, it was a programmer at Andromeda development that put me in this mode. He was trying to get me back to stock from Andromeda 2.1 when this all happened. Here is a link to the guys that tried to help me when all this happened http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#teamkomin.

Titanium Backup-- is there a setting so i dont have to click the "install" button?

before i used titanium backup i used Mybackup pro or something like that. with that you could allow superuser access and instead of you having to click the install button on every app after flashing a new rom, it would install them all with one click and your done. i cant find a setting like that in titanium backup so im wondering if you can even do this? the only thing holding me back from flashing many more roms than i currently do is having to wait an hour and clicking the install button for 70 different apps all the time. so does titanium have a setting to where it will install all of the apps at once, without needing someone to click the install button?

Just wondering if using the "phone speaker (loud)" equalizer setting can damage the phone's speaker? I love how loud it makes it but dont want to risk damage if it could occur.
[Captivate General] Kaax:
This looks fairly weird.

I'm running the latest Mini Kies (11014_6) on a Windows XP system. My IE is version 8, I never installed IE 9.

I start the Mini Kies up, it asks me to connect my phone. I connect my Captivate (stock ROM, rooted) in the USB debugging mode. The Mini Kies recognizes it, displays the model name (SGH-I897) and the phone number, thinks for a sec, and tells me there's a firmware upgrade available. Helpfully it displays a big "Phone Upgrade" button in the bottom left corner. So far so good.

Now, when I click on that button, the Kies Mini window disappears for a second and then returns, exactly the same. I don't get the next screen (where I'm supposed to consent to the upgrade), instead I'm again looking at the same "Phone upgrade" button. Rinse and repeat.

I've reinstalled Kies Mini (with the manual purging of its keys from registry), tried running an _4 version without letting it upgrade to _6, tried connecting the phone in the Kies mode.

Same result everywhere -- the Kies Mini sees my phone, offers to upgrade it, and then doesn't do anything. It does not crash -- just returns to the same phone upgrade screen.

Anyone had problems like this? Any ideas?

KaaX
[Captivate General] Galroc:
I have the same problem with two Captivates.

No ideas from me.
[Captivate General] Kaax:
Update: I sidestepped the problem by installing Kies Mini on my netbook (which hasn't seen any Kies or Captivate drivers before) and updating the phone from it. The whole thing worked without a hitch.

This makes me suspect that the issue is somehow connected with the Samsung phone drivers on Windows, though now that I've updated my phone I can't be arsed to fix the Kies on my desktop machine.

I'm on the hunt too.

PowerTutor at hand, I found Colorize Widgets to be a battery killer.

Right now, the best solution I found to have good graphics and good battery life is... Pulse! Setting ONLY the Facebook feeds, now included by default.

Note that, the more feeds you set in there, the more battery usage increases in a crazy way.

Comparison, both 30 minutes refresh interval, screen off all the time, 1h30mins:

- Colorize Widgets : 19,4 J

- Pulse (only facebook-friend's-posts & links): 8 J

Another good battery usage solution was to use an RSS widget and setting my Facebook-friend's-posts as a feed directly. Unfortunately, no images were shown (probably guilt is the RSS reader isself).

Question: does Pure Messenger show friends photos on the widget ?

I paid for Docs to Go, and quite frankly, I hate it. Google Docs (desktop version) is awesome, and strangely works horribly on our browsers.

I'm hoping tablet PC's come down a bit. I want one by the end of the year (probably gonna end up with one of the two later HTC units) but the price is just a little bit steep at the moment.

[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
maybe

In the later future definately, in the near future where it would be worth waiting for, probably not. If it does however, it will certainly not be that large a price drop.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
There will be tablets selling in the 300-500 dollar range within 2 months. Asus is releasing a couple tablets as are like 30 other OEM's. There are going to be a bunch of no name chinese tablets that are released, one of them might actually be worth buying. The Xoom will drop in price when these are released to compete not only with them but also with the iPad2. Android tablets will not be more expensive than their comparable iPad unless they offer a CLEAR differentiator like a 3d screen and 3d video capture, you can bet on that. So after the iPad2 is released and if it maintains its $499 price point, you will see tablets like the Xoom with maybe a little less storage going for under $500.
[Xoom General] AndyRathbone:
Competition will drop the price somewhat, but Motorola's made an effort to create a solid, hackable device that's upgradeable to 4G. That's a well-played move toward longetivity in a soon-to-be overcrowded market.

I don't see the price dropping for awhile, especially since there's no way to compete with Apple on price alone, as they control hardware and software.

The HP Touchpad's the wild card to watch, as HP's the only company capable of taking the hardware/software approach that lowers the bottom line.
[Xoom General] quattr0:
Give it 3 months it will drop around $150 lesser, at least. Look at Samsung. Who cares about 4G speed, really. After all, they all lie about the speed. Plus the fact that with the size of the Xoom, prolly most users will use it from home or somwhere w wireless.
[Xoom General] diaa08:
For what its worth, the 4G will actually be real 4G and not just a gussied up 3G+, thats why the radio has to be swapped. My question is, when they do swap, what will happen when you are in a 3G area? Will the LTE radio also have the CDMA frequencies?
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Yep, I don't see the price staying up at all for very long, especially after finding out how terrible initial sales are, and how bad they're going to be after iPad 2 is launched. I'd expect to see a price drop right after the WiFi only version comes out.
